And Another Obligatory "Will Light Green GQP Members Of Congress Stop The Destruction Of Environmental Laws?" Article
Answer: No.
Hill Republican defenders of clean energy tax incentives in the Democrats 2022 climate law will soon have to decide how far to push their demands. For months, they have been firing off letters urging leaders to spare at least some of the credits to benefit solar energy, nuclear, hydrogen and other technologies. Speaker Mike Johnson promised to use a scalpel and not a sledgehammer to the suite of green subsidies included in the Inflation Reduction Act.
But in the tax portion of the GOPs megabill, approved by the Ways and Means Committee earlier this week, the credits would in fact receive a bludgeoning, with a slew of climate tax credits now slated for phase-downs or full-out repeals that would disrupt clean energy projects across the country, including in red districts and states. And its exactly what many Republicans feared would happen.
I hate to say its not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but its still pretty bad, said Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-N.Y.), who is the co-chair of the House Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus and has been at the forefront of advocating for the credits to be preserved amid the GOPs takeover of Washington this year.
Im not happy with the way the bill is currently written, Garbarino said Thursday. We have alternative language and its something were going to work with leadership to try to get them to implement. The question now is whether Garbarino and his allies will threaten to oppose the tax, energy and national security spending legislation that carries much of President Donald Trumps agenda unless leadership backs off its attacks on the credits.
EDIT
Ed. Jane. Stop this crazy thing. The suspense is killing me.
